Apple turned sour too soon...Jobs, you are sorely missed.
This is going the way of the other front runners whent he competition catches up with them and they have no more legs to run on.

Betting on one product? Dangerous ploy.

It looks like i5 has turned into a rotten apple, mainly because it came out too soon after i4. These phones are expensive and a lot of people haven't even finished paying for i4. The ecomomy isn't the best and they should have waited.

Lets face it too many products too soon...even cannibalization has its limit. People do not have the resources to replenish these products every year...and the phone plans are two years out (this is where the phone companies sell most of the product). They need to synchronize the product launchings.

Apple like many other multinational companies know the future will not be reflected in the US tax form they file. The future is India and China. They the big boys are able to keep profits hidden much easier now and they are doing it.

If you cut out the core of an apple all that will be left are pieces or apple sauce. ;D

Funny that this downturn has happened now that Steve Jobs has gone. I don't think the ipad mini would ever have gone to production if Steve Jobs was still alive. It has a poorer screen resolution than both the Nook+ and the Kindle Fire.
